Description

version 1.2.2

The number of days away is incorrect (the number should not be rounded up).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Early in the morning, set a due date late at night for another day
  2. The number of days away is wrong (it rounds up, presumably since more than x days + 12 hours)

Expected behavior
Provide the number of days away without respect to hours (floor instead of round if using hours).

  • Show hours separately if anything.

Screenshots
kanban - says 5 days away, should say 4
(says 5 days away, should say 4)

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the due-date display in the Deck card UI using the described early-morning and late-night dates, then trace the calculation that produces the displayed number of days. Done means the example reports 4 rather than 5 and fractional hours do not round the day count upward.
